Jiang Sheng raised his face and said, "Mom, tomorrow is Xiao Nian, it's my sister's birthday." ”

That was the first time I heard the word birthday and didn't know what it meant.

The mother nodded and said, "Your sister's birthday is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, which happens to be Xiao Nian. ”

Jiang Sheng asked, "Doesn't my mother celebrate my sister's birthday?" ”

Mother said, "Countrymen don't have birthdays. ”

"What is a birthday?" I asked.

Jiang Sheng said: "I have to eat cake and drink wine on my birthday, and I have to sing birthday songs, which is how I spend my birthday every year. ”

When I heard Jiang Sheng say this, I begged my mother, "Mom, I also have a birthday." ”

The mother said, "Look at whose child has a birthday in Sanlitun?" Where can I buy you a cake and drink wine? ”

I pouted and said, "My brother will be able to get by." ”

The mother said: "My brother will not have it in the future, tomorrow I will make a bowl of longevity noodles for you to eat, which is also a birthday." ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Longevity noodles are also excellent. ”

"Okay, Jiang Rong, you take your brother to the wheat field to pull some wheat grains, there is not enough firewood at home, you have to make a fire." Mother said impatiently.

I hummed and dragged the dung basket behind the door out of the door, Jiang Sheng took the dung basket into his hand and went with me to the wheat field to pull grass.

On our way home, we just saw Xiao Wu with a group of children dangling from behind the tunzi, and the little landlord Zhao Dahai said: "Yo, the children from the city will still do dirty work?" ”

I looked at Zhao Dahai, my eyes narrowed into a line wickedly, and Jiang Sheng pulled me to walk quickly towards home.

After eating, I was already exhausted after a day of walking, and I fell asleep after lying in bed for a while.

In the evening, my mother woke me up when she came back from collecting coal from an abandoned coal mine and saw that I was still sleeping in bed.

When I opened my eyes, the kettle on the stove had already sounded, and my mother took out the ashes with the tongs, and said, "Wake up, you have slept all day, how can you fall asleep at night?" ”

I yawned and got out of bed and asked, "Where's my brother?" ”

"Your brother and Xiao Wu are playing in the wheat field, you go and call him home, it's time to eat in a while."

I gave a sigh of gratitude, and ran to the wheat field, and really saw Jiang Sheng and Xiao Wu playing together, and the two were chasing a leather ball and kicking it happily.

I called out to my brother, Jiang Sheng stopped, wiped the sweat on his face and said, "Jiang Rong, are you awake?" ”

I muttered, glanced at Xiao Wu, and said, "How are you playing with this dead fat man?" ”

Xiao Wu saw that Jiang Sheng didn't chase anymore, so he ran over with the ball, Jiang Sheng said: "Jiang Rong, Xiao Wu will be my brother in the future." ”

Xiao Wu smiled, and I said, "What are you laughing at, I'm not uncommon to play with you." ”

Xiao Wu's expression was embarrassed, and Jiang Sheng said: "Jiang Rong, Xiao Wu has fallen out with his child for me, we can't be without righteousness." ”

"Niu Aihua always goes to our house to get things, and last time I loved to eat pickled winter melons were served to Niu Aihua." I said. "Where's my pickled winter melon?"

Xiao Wu wiped his nose and said, "I'm done eating." ”

I snorted, pulled Jiang Sheng and walked back.

At this moment, Zhao Dahai came over with a group of children, Zhao Dahai stared at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, do you really want to play with this wild child?" ”

Xiao Wu threw the ball in his hand at Zhao Dahai, Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand to block, took a step back, and he was angry and pointed at Xiao Wu and shouted: "Give it to me, beat him to death!" ”

The children around Zhao Dahai looked at each other, and they didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Wu, the former boss, Xiao Wu snorted, pointed at Zhao Dahai and said: "Zhao Dahai, if you dare to scold Jiang Sheng next time, don't blame me for giving you a blue-eyed hammer!" ”

Zhao Dahai saw that the children under his command didn't dare to beat Xiao Wu at all, so he had to say angrily You dare, and there was no follow-up after that.

A skinny child said, "Little Fifth Brother, why do you want to play with that wild child?" ”

"Who do I like to play with, who do I want to play with, you big kids? Get out, don't play with Zhao Dahai, a small landlord, in the future, otherwise don't blame me for beating me. Xiao Wu said as he reached out and picked up the skinny child.

The child was so frightened that he cried, and Xiao Wu put the thin child down and said, "Look at your prowess, I didn't say I was going to beat you." ”

Zhao Dahai saw that the majesty of the little five boss was still there, and he hated itchy, he pointed to Xiao Wu and Jiang Sheng and said, "You wait for me, I have to look good!" ”

"Zhao Dahai, how can you make me look good, go and tell your local lord's father, and see if I'm afraid of him." Xiao Wu picked up the ball and said.

"If you have the ability, you will come out tonight, to the bottom of the big stone bridge, and if you don't come, it will be a puppy." Zhao Dahai pointed at Xiao Wu and said.

Xiao Wu cut and said, "The master is still afraid of you." ”

After the children were dispersed, Jiang Sheng and Xiao Wu said goodbye and led me home, we finished eating at six o'clock in the afternoon, it was not dark yet, usually my father came back from the construction site at eight o'clock, and there were two hours of play time in between.

Xiao Wu fell out with Zhao Dahai for Jiang Sheng, and Zhao Dahai made an appointment with Xiao Wu, so Jiang Sheng had to go.

In the afternoon, Xiao Wu had already led Jiang Sheng around Sanlitun, and he had some understanding of the surroundings of Sanlitun, Jiang Sheng wanted to go alone, after all, it was not honorable to go to the appointment to fight, and if he knew about it, he would not be reprimanded.

I have never been afraid of this kind of lively thing, so I followed behind Jiang Sheng, but Jiang Sheng couldn't resist me, so he had to let me follow.

When I got to the big stone bridge, the light of the fire from the bottom of the bridge suddenly reminded me of what happened that night, and now I don't know where the mad woman had gone, died or fled somewhere else?

Under the stone bridge, Xiao Wu and a group of children were squatting around the fire to roast the fire, a group of people laughed, and one child said: "I know that Zhao Dahai is a cowardly and dare not come." ”

Xiao Wu saw Jiang Sheng leading me to the bottom of the bridge, stood up and said, "Jiang Sheng will be my best brother in the future, and no one is allowed to bully him, do you hear?" ”

"I heard you!" A group of children shouted in unison, convinced of Xiao Wu.

Jiang Sheng frowned like a little adult and said, "Zhao Dahai's father is a landlord, is it really okay to bully him like this?" ”

Xiao Wu said: "He dares to find an adult, I will beat him once I see him, and everyone should be afraid of him if he is the king of heaven, and he will fight with me, forgive him and don't have the courage to do so." ”

Xiao Wu said proudly, and as soon as the words fell, several fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers walked into the bridge cave, led by Zhao Zhuang.

Behind Zhao Zhuang, Zhao Dahai walked out with a hateful face, pointed at Xiao Wu and said, "It's him!" ”

Zhao Zhuang lit a cigarette while walking to the children around the fire, everyone stood up and retreated to the side, frightened little face yellow, only Xiao Wu was still standing by the fire, looking at Zhao Zhuang expressionlessly.

Zhao Zhuang is famous for fighting in Sanlitun and even Qiantang Town, how can a group of seven or eight-year-old children not be afraid of fifteen or sixteen-year-old gangsters? Zhao Zhuang glared at Xiao Wu and kicked him in the chest, Xiao Wu staggered back, and his eyes became hateful.

Zhao Zhuang said: "Little five, right? I've heard that you're a little fat man who is the king and hegemon in the tunzi, what are you better than? Try it with me? ”

Zhao Zhuang said that he was going to kick Xiao Wu again, Jiang Sheng let go of my hand and ran to Xiao Wu to stop Zhao Zhuang, Zhao Zhuang looked at Jiang Sheng and laughed and said: "Yo he, the little kid is quite reckless, what are you the one, the little wild seed from the countryside, right?" ”

"Zhao Zhuang, what kind of ability do you have to bully the small, don't think I'm afraid of you, if you dare to beat me, I'll let my dad beat you." Xiao Wu said.

Zhao Zhuang snorted, went up and kicked Xiao Wu aside, and kicked Jiang Sheng by the way, he pointed in the direction of Sanlitun and said, "Go, go and let your father beat me now." ”

Xiao Wu pursed his lips and hated Zhao Zhuang, Zhao Dahai laughed, Zhao Zhuang pushed Zhao Dahai to Xiao Wu and said: "One person and one kick, see if they dare to fight back." ”

Zhao Dahai went up and kicked Jiang Sheng's buttocks, Xiao Wu clenched his fists and was about to hit Zhao Dahai, but Jiang Sheng grabbed his wrist, and then Zhao Dahai kicked Xiao Wu again.

"Sister don't!" Jiang Sheng suddenly saw me holding a stone behind Zhao Zhuang and asked me to stop.

Zhao Zhuang turned his head when he heard the movement, and a stone hit his head.

Zhao Zhuang screamed miserably, and his head was immediately smashed, and he covered his head and roared viciously: "I'll kill you!" ”

I ran to the riverbank, and Zhao Zhuang chased after me like crazy. I ran all the way to Zhao Zhuang's house, when Zhao Zhuang's father was shoveling snow in the yard, and when he saw me running into his house out of breath, he asked, "Jiang Rong, what are you doing this little girl, look at your breath." ”

I said, "Zhao Zhuang beat my brother and Xiao Wu, and now he wants to kill me." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Zhao Zhuang rushed in through the gate and kicked me to the ground.

Zhao Zhuang's father was holding a shovel in his hand, and when he saw that Zhao Zhuang was going to beat me, a shovel smashed on Zhao Zhuang's shoulder, Zhao Zhuang grinned in pain, and before he could react, he was hit on his ankle by a shovel and fell to the ground heavily.

"I'll kill you, who has a mother and no mother, you're idle all day long, and I'll make some hard-earned money and pay you for your medical expenses!" Zhao Zhuang's father shouted and slapped Zhao Zhuang with a shovel.

Zhao Zhuang was beaten and rolled all over the ground, crying and yelling: "What else can you do besides beating me?" ”

"You have the ability, you can beat six or seven-year-old children, do you really have the ability to go to the town to fight with the boss of other people's houses, and then you can't fight with the little Japanese devils, it is the ability to bully the soft and be afraid of the hard?" Zhao Zhuang's father said as he took down a hemp rope from the wall. "I don't have the ability, do I, what is missing from you for you to eat and drink? Let's see if I can hang you from a tree and beat you to death today!" ”

Zhao Zhuang saw that his father was really going to tie him up, so he got up and ran out of the door.
